Kettle
15m
Directed by Lucius Dechausay ∙ 2015 ∙ Canada ∙ 15'
"Kettling" is a police tactic used to control large crowds during protests. Officers surround the crowd from all sides, pushing them together into a smaller area. In many cases, a person's only means of exiting the kettle is through arrest.
Set against the backdrop of the Toronto G20 in 2010—where the largest mass arrest in Canadian history took place—KETTLE is a short film that explores our personal notions of freedom and how easily those freedoms can be taken away.
